All due respect, I suggest you are "misunderestimating" the infinite institutional ambition and hubris of BART.
The initial scheme was via the Richmond-San Rafael but MTC knows Marin would rebel at a line that would bring not only maids from the East Bay but bangers, muggers, and drug dealers as well. That plan ain't gonna fly.
But the scheme that MTC and Ed Lee are cooking up would have "BT", aka 5-6" gauge, colonize first Geary and 19th Ave. south. Therafter they would ram it across the GG Bridge.
This will take some years but recall the dark side of the Force is strong with BART. It never loses.
BART is out to conquer Sac. Wait and see.
